LOL over Dick the Tick! Rattlesnakes are pretty shy. As long as you don't corner them or step on them by accident, they will always choose to...
Thank you. I think it looks like I caught and cooked an alien space creature.
Very much so. I have to admit the Colonial Period was a bit of a slog, but now we are getting into the authors I have always enjoyed (Poe,...
I am re-reading an old (1971) anthology called Introduction to American Poetry and Prose. I am currently in "The Romantic Movement" section.

A lot of rearranging of the deck chairs, metaphorically. I am trying to find the right flow in the kitchen garden, and get the plants in their...
